Today's Note from the Universe
Don’t be fooled by the “players,” and don’t be fooled by yourself. Because there’s no one more lovable than you.
And I know everyone.
Precious,

Today's Note from the Universe
There is perhaps no more empowering belief than understanding you’re always in control of how you feel.
Similarly, understanding that just because you’re not always skipping through tulips with joy doesn’t mean that something’s wrong with you.

Today's Note from the Universe
Karen, you’re the only person who knows what’s right for you. The only one. And if you already know what this is, commit to it. If you don’t, commit to nothing.
Only you know, The Universe
A blog post by the Postsecret mail carrier →
“Soon I was getting postcards from overseas, home made cards, extravagant cards that took hours to create. I remember one that had paper clips and office supplies taped all over it and said something to the effect of “I hate my boss so I waste office supplies”. So many people hate their bosses. I wish I could remember all the tricks that have been played on them. One of my...
Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 →
These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.
It’s absolutely fascinating to see photos...

Just a reminder
In case you didn’t know, you couldn’t tell, or you haven’t heard, if you’re reading this right now on a computer, you’re rich. If you have somewhere to go today, you’re connected. And if there is anyone, anywhere, who for any reason knows where you are in this moment, you are loved.
Dang, you just keep acing time and space.
Big time, The Universe

Just what I need today
Have you noticed how moving towards a great dream summons from life’s jungles the fiercest lions, the scariest tigers, and the grizzliest bears… who eventually turn out to be the noblest teachers, the bravest guides, and the dearest friends? You’re on your way, The Universe

From my blog in April 2003:
“I was wondering what happened to those POWs that were taken in the first couple of days of the war. Are they free? I haven’t heard anything about them after that girl Jessica Lynch was rescued, then they said they were still POWs, so now that Baghdad has fallen, have they been rescued too? Does anyone know?”
This war (well, both) has been...

An diesem Abend startet auf ProSieben die fünfte Staffel von “Germany’s Next Topmodel” mit Heidi Klum. Ein echtes Top-Model hat die Sendung zwar noch nicht hervorgebracht - dafür eine Reihe von Ausdrücken und Phrasen, ohne die man die Castingshow nicht verstehen kann. SPIEGEL ONLINE listet die wichtigsten Begriffe und Redewendungen auf und erklärt, was sie im...
Two Wolves →
He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
“One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
“The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The mystery is solved
The mystery about the lights I posted about here and here is solved: I mentioned how the building is one of the university hospitals, right? (It is actually the surgical clinic.) Well, my roommate found out what’s going on. And no, it’s not bodies, bombs or anything to do with the copper wire that was stolen from the construction site across the street. It’s actually kind of...
